Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 4251711, member: 767"] I didn't realize all of the details; there have been 13 3-1 blown leads in NBA history (I would've guessed more I think?) and he's had 3 of them. I can see why he is tired of hearing about it, but I mean. That's pretty bad! Also not a huge deal but he said Detroit won the title the year they blew the 3-1 lead but that isn't right. It was 2003, the Pistons got swept in the East finals. He's right it was the 1-8 series, so some credit for taking the 8 to a 3-1 lead in the first place, but also, Orlando was 42-40 that year as the 8 and Detroit was 50-32 as the one. So it's not like we're talking about necessarily a massive disparity. (Then again, Orlando started Gordon Giricek, Jacque Vaughn, and Andrew DeClercq in every game that series so maybe Doc was on to something...) [/QUOTE]
